The group released their debut song, the retro inspired single "찌릿찌릿 (Spark Spark)", on May 16, 2011. As early rookies they received praises from hit composer Shinsadong Tiger, who's known for producing for B2ST and 4minute, as he saw in their training process that their "passion and skills" stood above many other girl groups debuting at the time. He went on to say, "In anticipation for their debut, the members have been sleeping three hours a night in order to devote everything else to their rehearsals."

A follow up single titled "미친 날 (Crazy Day)" was released on July 27, 2011. The music video for "Crazy Day" was shot in 3D in the Maldives by famous director Kang Young Man. The clip also featured dance moves choreographed by Main Spirit who has also worked with Lee Hyori and Bada.

At the end of their debuting year, the girls took home the 2011 19th Republic of Korea Culture Entertainment Awards Idol Music Rookie of the Year award. Also, SY6 added a new member, Nahyun.

Despite rumors of disbandment in 2012 and early 2013, Blady released a single "B형 여자 (Blood Type B Girl)" on November 18, 2013. The group returned with five members, Kangyoon being the only first generation member to return. Thus, she was promoted to leader status in the group. This comeback saw the addition of new members Coco, Tina, Yeji and Soojin.

The single release of "B형 여자 (Blood Type B Girl)" also saw a new remixed version of "미친 날 (Crazy Day)" titled "Bring Bring" with a stronger hip hop and rock flavor than its predecessor. "B형 여자 (Blood Type B Girl)" is a collaboration between renowned producer C-Luv (who has produced for Rain, MBLAQ and Kim Hyun Joong) and songwriter Stay Tuned. The song features a funky urban electronic beat and draws inspiration from the fact that all the members of Blady have blood type B.
